ABOUT ME


I'm an author from Prague, Bohemia. Writing has been one of my greatest passions since childhood, along with the study of metaphysics and nature magic. I find inspiration in mythology, philosophy, and my visions, channelings, and spirit journeys.

I believe that writing and creativity is a kind of metaphysical communication. 
Many authors say that their muses or spirit guides work with them and help them write. I couldn't agree more, and it keeps amazing me. Each time an idea enters my mind, I feel that it came from a source incomprehensible to my senses. However, only once it aligns with my heart, am I able to start writing it. It truly feels like a channeling that is filtered through my perceptions, emotions, and experiences. 

Besides writing, I'm an avid researcher of ancient wisdom and teachings, especially those of sacred geometry, magic symbols, and runes. I live in the Bohemian countryside with my husband and animal family.
